COURT-LD RAJA 2 LAST

Balwa was the fourth person to be arrested for his
alleged involvement in the 2G scam, which, as per the CBI, has
caused a pecuniary loss of Rs 22,000 crore to the state
exchequer.
Raja is alleged to have manipulated rules to favour
some telecom companies including Swan Telecom and Unitech
Private Limited in allocation of spectrum at throwaway prices.
He was arrested along with former Telecom Secretary
Siddharth Behura and his former personal secretary R K
Chandolia, who were sent to Tihar Jail on Feb 8.
Chandolia and Behura are presently in judicial custody
till February 22.
The CBI had also questioned ADAG chairman Anil Ambani
on Wednesday at its headquarters, confronting him with Raja
and Balwa, amid allegations that his group received favours
from Raja in getting dual technology and a role for Reliance
Telecom in promoting Swan Telecom. ADAG has refuted the
allegations. PTI
